Good afternoon, the hotel did send you notice of the declined credit card and also you were notified via expedia. Looking as I type expedia states " On 4/30/2024, we notified the guest to provide a valid payment method within 24 hours to keep the booking."The hotel will not hold a room with a declined credit card, and expedia even reached out to try to get it rectified. Unfortunately the credit card was not valid and the reservation was cancelled.

The staff was amazing and the property was perfect for our family of five adults. The only negative is the journey to get to the city. We had a member of our group that could not walk easily so we had to take an Uber every day to the Path station to get to the city. The area also just didn’t seem safe to walk around- more industrial. Next time we will stay closer to the Path station in Newport.

Thank you Frank for your review, unfortunately since your credit card was declined, and Expedia states they had contacted you about your declined credit card, your reservation was cancelled. This section of reviews is for guests after they stayed with us and not for people who never stayed at the property.

Response from Leonardo Hernandez on Feb 13, 2024
Thank you for your review, I am sorry you did not have a good stay. I am sorry you felt that the area was unsafe. As far as the parking goes, on Expedia website on our hotel page, under popular amenities, under parking and transportation it states 'Valet parking on site (USD 30 per night; includes in/out privileges)Limited onsite parking'On our own website it also states limited parking at 30 a day, may I ask what website you are a stating that doesn't show the parking information, I would like to know so I can reach out to them about it.

Path is too far to walk And walking to path is unsafe due to too many cars on the road
Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024
Response from Leonardo Hernandez Assistant General Manager on Feb 4, 2024
Thank you for your review, I am sorry that you felt unsafe with getting to the path station. For future reference the best times to avoid heavy traffic would be between 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. Also the closest Path train is a 15 minute walk at the Pavonia Newport station, if you take the Grove street station that is about half a 45 minute walk away.

I couldn’t check in until 5pm because the rooms wasn’t ready . The washer and dryer was broke on the premises

Response from Leonardo Hernandez Assistant General Manager on Feb 2, 2024
Thank you for your response, I am sorry you had a delay in getting your room, you did book a specialty room of two double beds with a city view. We do have IHG one club members, and one of the perks for being a club member is a late check, this is one of the reasons for a delay with the room. The washing machine is in working order, it is the dryer that needs to be replaced.

Upon arrival it wasn’t a warm welcome I had asked a question and she pointed at the sign a simple explination would have sufficed this made me feel like my question was bothersome. I stayed in this property during pandemic time a few times booked direct with the hotel and it was amazing but service has decreased since then. I tried to make interaction smiling but agent was a bit cold and didn’t seem to want to interact with me. The room was nice however there was a lot of hair on the bed under the covers. I wanted to call down but I had already unpacked and made my self comfortable so I grabbed a towel and just removed all the hair This made me feel a bit disgusted. If I were to stay again I will check more throughly. There was also dirty foot prints in the bathroom and hair as well. This hotels location is perfect for me but this stay did have a couple things that I didn’t like.

Fresh Refresh
New bed in this Holiday Inn Express gave the room a comfortable feel, literally. Service was marvelous. Desk attendants truly wonderful. Hotel is located conveniently in Jersey so one can get around via Lyft or car easily. Price was right. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of a lounge chair which was necessary to use for sitting in a room with only one other desk chair: It’s a washable surface but we found several unmentionable stains on what is a lovely lounge chair. Kinda gross. Don’t know why it was overlooked by cleaning staff.
